Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a relatively noninvasive and highly valuable diagnostic modality to monitor cardiac surgery. TEE is utilized to estimate the results of the surgical correction or the cardiac function on a real time basis. Accordingly, the frequency of TEE usage is increasing. Previous studies have shown low risk of TEE-associated complications; nonetheless, major gastrointestinal trauma can occur on a rare occasion. We herein present a case of Mallory-Weiss laceration after an intraoperative TEE examination.
经食管超声心动图（TEE）是一种相对非侵入性且非常有价值的诊断方式，可用于监测心脏手术。TEE 用于实时评估手术矫正结果或心脏功能。因此，TEE 的使用频率正在增加。先前的研究表明 TEE 相关并发症的风险较低；然而，偶尔也会发生严重的胃肠道创伤。我们在此介绍一例术中 TEE 检查后发生的 Mallory-Weiss 撕裂。
